Starting the week of June 23, there will be regular work parties at the new Magnuson Park headquarters. The work parties, on Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons, help us both save some money and speed up the project. Work parties will last from 2 - 4 hours, and are followed by a BBQ. You don't need to have any specialized skills to join a work party - your time and willingness to help is all we need!

- Wednesday night work parties begin at 4, followed by a BBQ at 6:30.
- Saturday work parties start at noon, with a BBQ around 5:30.

If you are interested in making your mark on the new building, please contact Gene Yore, the project manager, to let him know you're coming. This helps him plan the projects in advance. If you can't make it to a work party but still want to help, contact Gene for information on 1-person projects.

I was out there last night installing bolt hangers on the South Wall for the new Climbing Plaza.  Of the 10 folks there doing various projects, 3 were *brand new* members.

Crews are currently installing the climbing walls in the South Side Plaza.

Thanks in part to a challenge donation from Rich Draves and donations from other contributors, the club purchased a matching climbing boulder as well.  One half is in place and the second is being rigged to be hoisted by the fork truck in the background.

The climbing walls inside the clubhouse will be finished this week.
